Steve Angeli, Syracuse QB: the 2026 season story
Steve Angeli is a senior quarterback for Syracuse (ACC). He ranks 164th of 365 quarterbacks in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every quarterback on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked quarterback, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Steve Angeli's strongest measure is pass yards per game at 231, 40th of 181 (the average is 179). His weakest is rush yards per game at -4, 163rd of 181 (the average is 20).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His pass yards per game, 231, ranks 40th among 181 ranked quarterbacks.
Against every quarterback
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked quarterbacks he sits, on average, in the 44th percentile for volume, 26th for efficiency and 54th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 6 games, Steve Angeli's best came in week 8 at North Carolina and his quietest in week 3 at Pittsburgh.
When it matters
Why it matters. Third downs, the red zone and games against good teams are where drives and seasons are decided.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference

Steve Angeli is 127th of 181 FBS quarterbacks and 15th of 19 in the ACC. Next up nationally is Carlos Del Rio-Wilson of Marshall, 0.00 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. A player's track record is the best guide to whether a season like this one is likely to last. His best season by the Player Index was 2025 at Syracuse, 43rd of 389 quarterbacks.
